With players like Patrick Queen, Kristian Fulton, and Jordan Love still available, the general manager Mickey Loomis and head coach Sean Payton opted to shore up the New Orleans Saints’ offensive line by added a talented center.
Last year’s rookie center, Erik McCoy, had a pretty good season last year but had originally played guard.
Adding Ruiz to an already talented offensive line gives Drew Brees an incredible young center to lead the line and allows McCoy to shift to guard. Or they could do the opposite, putting Ruiz at guard and keeping McCoy at center for what could be Brees’s last season.
